I'm really hoping that the "block illegal pokemon" Isn't that intense :S
I think it would be a better idea to just block hacked or illegal pokemon from any internet things like, trading and battling.
To keep the game fair and real, the illegal pokemon would be good for in game, completing the pokedex, and looking pretty haha

They've already banned hacked pokemon from being traded in black and white...

I hope that as long as it's stats, ability, and move set is ok it will be fine. How else do they expect people to collect 700+ pokemon without some of them being hacked?
Especially if they weren't the ones to hack them.. People have traded a lot for hacked pokemon over the GTS back in diamond and pearl and every other game before black and white. Some don't even know that the pokemon they traded for are hacked, what a surprise it will be when they can't transfer their beloved pokemon they've had since diamond/pearl over to the new gen because the person they traded for it caught it in the wild "illegally".

It's kinda stupid to banned them all when you could block them from everything that would effect others, like they started to do... :/

1) I traded for a shiny Japanese mew, deoxy, and a few others over the gts when you could trade for hacked pokemon.
For the mew and deoyx it says they came from hoenn and something about a long travel through time...?
How do I tell if they are legit or not? I would love them to be but you know it's really hard to tell.

2) If you where to breed a hacked pokemon, would the offspring be considered hacked? and if you used a butt ton of rare candies to evolve that pokemon back to what it was, would that be considered hacked? I don't think it would be but... should make sure before I do anything

That's an excuse. an attempt to rationalize cheating. Nothing more.

That'll sure be unfortunate for them.

The item transfer thing is a pain only because it makes me need a second 3ds to get my mega stones from Y to X...... I was SO CLOSE this gen to only needing one console. (You would think they PLANNED that or something. )

I've been wondering about this as well. I'm curious as to whether we could use the GTS to trade Pokemon holding the mega stones between games. For instance, if I deposit a generic unimportant Pokemon such as a Pidgey (not holding any items) on Pokemon X and ask for a Pancham in return, then could I find the offer on Pokemon Y and trade the Pidgey for a Pancham holding the mega stone (thus sending the mega stone to Pokemon X)?

Also, the Pokemon that is deposited would need to be one that you don't care about, and not holding the mega stone, just in case someone else accepts the trade. Plus if this works, then it should also work for Pokemon that evolve by trading.

I'm not sure whether this will work, or whether I have overlooked something, but this might be a way to trade the mega stones between games using only one 3DS without needing help from anyone else.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's tried. Pokemon holding mega stones cannot be offered or deposited in the GPS.

I moved all my legends over that way. Posting a Scatterbug and asking for Yveltal is obnoxious unless it is serving you a purpose.

Reason: clarify what I mean by "trading"

Is anyone else here actually excited for Pokemon Bank? I know it seems strange to be excited for a title that's not even a game, but I personally can't wait to be able to store 3900 Pokemon between Bank and X!

Definitely! I've been waiting for an updated Pokemon Box since Diamond and Pearl were released.

Would have been more excited about it if it allowed us to deposit items from the Gen 6 games at least. The restriction impedes my OCD commitment to my living dex since I can no longer deposit some of the Pokemon as I had previously stored them; such as Origin Giratina. I understand their reasons for not allowing it, but it's still annoying. Though, it's not like Gamefreak hasn't already been doing this to me in the game itself with Pokemon like Castform, Meloetta, Furfrou, etc.

So, while I'm not exactly thrilled about that decision, I'll survive it...somehow. xD
